Economic Aspects of Arms OffsetsNonreviewed - Other

Ing. Eva Vincencová, Ing. Vladislav Vincenec

Arms-importing countries often ask their suppliers to "offset" the cost by reinvesting some of the money in their country. The so-called "arms trade offsets" are thought to enhance domestic economic development. Do offsets mitigate or magnify the military burden? This article examines the theory and policy applications of arms trade offsets and looks at some cases (JAS 39 C/D GRIPEN). It will be a useful and enlightening read for those interested in international development economics, military studies and our Czech policy-makers.
